‘Tis the Season of Resolution: Enhancing Holiday Cheer for Your Members!  

As the festive air fills with goodwill and merriment, Elena finds herself amidst a challenge: An unexpected tangle in the appeals and grievances process during this joyous time. Amidst the chorus of carols and the warmth of Christmas, Elena’s struggle echoes a common dilemma – a denied claim due to a misplaced document, adding complexity to her holiday season.

However, this tale shouldn’t dampen anyone’s holiday spirit. It’s the time of the year to understand the importance of managing appeals and grievances seamlessly and ensuring that members remain happy in the festive spirit without facing unexpected hurdles. To keep the holiday tunes jingling for your members, I’m listing down a list of dos and don’ts to steer clear of such challenges.

The Don’ts

Rely on Manual Processing

Elena’s story serves as a warning, highlighting why practicing manual processing in appeals and grievances can dim the festive spirit for members. Handling a high volume of requests leads to misplacing documents, administrative bottlenecks, an endless cycle of data entry, and poor productivity, eventually affecting the member’s experience.

Loss: Time and manpower

Settle for Outdated Automation Tool

An outdated system causes a disintegrated workflow, which Elena struggled with. The lack of integration among different departments results in delays in data entry and validation of information and cases, leading to inefficiency and errors. Avoid legacy systems in appeals and grievances to keep your members merry.

Loss: Accuracy and efficiency

Overlook Glitches and Failures

Elena’s situation was unpredictable due to a disintegrated data flow that failed to track and monitor her case closely. Glitches or issues in handling cases can cause scrambling for information, data, and reports, ultimately affecting your member’s experience. Instead of merry melodies, members might find themselves caught in a web of complications and delays due to unaddressed glitches or system failures.

Loss: Data

The Dos

Embrace Technology Appropriately

Leveraging intelligent and smart automation to navigate workflow processes improves overall efficiency by minimizing manual tasks. A solution built on a robust platform can be the best way to boost your members’ Christmas zeal. It can be programmed smartly to prioritize each case by integrating multiple sources to retrieve data from the core system.

This is a non-negotiable bet. Choose a solution with real-time alerts and configurable business rules.
